I'm not a native English speaker, so I just wonder what native English speaker would think of my handwriting!

Seems like you can't go wrong if you write judgment without E.

Are there two seperate names for the red and the blue part or is both called the "elbow"?

Are there two seperate names for the red and the blue part or is both called the "elbow"?

As far as I know, only the (in this image) blue circled part is called the elbow. At least in my native language (german) both parts have seperate names: *Ellenbogen* (blue) and *Armbeuge* (red). So my questions are: does the english language differenciate between these things? And if that's the case, what is the red circled part called?

Guys, is this even real? How is common this in your speech? It seems too silly to me.

Is "I says" ever correct?

I have an American friend who's a native speaker. But when he retells conversations, he often says things like: > "He says..., and I says..., and then he says..." Why does he say "I says"? Is this some kind of dialect or just informal/slang speech? Also, how common is this? Is it something you often hear from native speakers?

How do pupils address a female high school teacher?

Especially a middle aged, married one. Ideally, I am looking for the term in the UK (but in the US is also fine). I understood that the term "Miss" was used in the past, is this still used? In my own language, it doesn't feel right to call a married, middle-aged lady a "Miss".

What is the hardest English dialect for you to understand?

I am curious, what dialects/accents do English learners find the most difficult to understand? I am a native speaker but the Baltimore accent is difficult for me to understand. What about you guys?
